A TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
The Mining Town OF Hurley, Wis.
Wiped Out.
A Number u Lives Lost.

For the fourth time in its history the
mining town of Hurley, on the Gogebic
range, has been visited by a terrible fire
this time to the almost total destruction
of the town and the loss OF nearly, il not
quite, a score of lives. June %, two blocks
in the business center were burned TO
the ground in "a many hours at cost
Of 100000 The tract thus devasted was
being rebuilt and in a short time would
have been rebuilt on n much larger scale
than before.
Between and O'Clock on the evening
of June Q, the Alcazar Theater, IA large
beer hall and variety show on Main street
was swarminS with these and other
patrons, gamblers and attaches Of the
place. One of the latter, a waiter girl and
variety actress, went to the top loft OF
the building with an oil lamp The light
she is presumed TO have dropped for al
most instantly after her disappearance
from the lower floor flame OF lire shot
skyward from the roof of the building and
second later the structure was ablaze
from the cellar up.
IL was a large building, but like every
thing else in Hurley being constructed
wholly of tat pine, il fell an instant prey
% the fire. The upper floors were filled
with women, who realizing their terrible
PLIGHT with 40 possible escape from death
added their screams to the already indie
sCrltablc chaos, and through the glare these
wretcLed creature were seen and heard
Tut for a moment before the ames fuiGeI
N uIou them and swaliowed them mp.
Within an hour everything in Hurley
east of the street running up the hill WAS
in ashes am the people, such as had them
| selves ESCAPED the flames, were either
| wildly rushing about the edge OF the ruins
| or else standing on the brow OF the hill
| stupidity staring at the terrible scene.
The Burton house 10y great good fortune
| was barely saved. though the flames at
one time crossed the street under its roof.
| Many thus found shelter who must other
| wise have found shelter III the woods. a
! number Of those who had saved some
| property from the fire Of two weeks ago
| were quartered in the district now burned
| and by the second visitation lost all their
| pos sessions.
No attempt has yet been made to est
mate tie loss, but il is believed that it Will
| reach $4,000, with but small insurance
| Most OF the burned buildings were rude,
| but many of them contained valuable
| stocks and some of the saloons were ex-
pensively fitted out Nearly, If not qnlte.
| 100 buildings were consumed.
1t is not definitely known how many lives
| were lost, but probably a score OF the un.
| fortunate habitues OF the theatre persisted
! in the flames. Seventeen bodies have been
| taken from the ruins, and several Others
! will die from in iurles received in their eff
| forts 20 escape from the burning building.
| About 300 people suffered from the confa-
| grafton, and many Of them have lost their
all and are homeless and destitute.

CLARENDON, PA, BURNED.

over 1000 People Rendered Homeless
About O'Clock the other evening a fire
started in what is known as the old Snow
planning mill at Clarendon seven mile
east Of Warren, on the Philadelphia I
Erie railroad, and shortly afterwards an
other was seen issuing from the Weaver
hotel owned by John Mahoney. There
was a brisk southwest wind blowing anG
the fire swept over the frame buildings
like "A whirlwiud. The fire department
being small, was unable TO cope with the
two fires and appeals for aid were sent &c
Warren. A steamer and hook and ladder
truck and full companies were sent and
every effort was made to save the town
but the depot Of the Philadelphia q Erie
was the only building of consequence
saved.
The area burned over is about twenty
acres. 1t is estimated that 100 people
are homeless. Some camped out at Clar
endon, while others were taken to War
rem, from which place the provisions were
sent. Rough lumber i being sent to
Clarendon as fast as possible in order that
shelter may he provided for those burned
out,
over 300 buildings were destroyed, and
among the number are the postofiice the
Weaver and Henry hotels, the water
works building, the Clarendon and Bruins
wick hotels and large number of oil rigs
and tanks, and the whole fire loss is not
less than 100000 and probably near
10000.
The fire was undoubtedly OF incendiary
origin. Public rumor at Clarendon says
that two weeks ago when liquor licenses
were refused 10 all applicants in Warren
county threats were made TO fire the town
if the decision of the court was not re
versed in two weeks. A warrant charging
Mahoney, proprietor OF the Weaver house,
with arson was sworn out and searching
parties secured the surro unding country
10 apprehend him. lie was found hiding
in the woods six miles from Clarendon and
because lynching was feared he was taken
TO Warren jail. A charred skeleton was
found in one of the rooms of the hotel and
il is supposed TO be that Of hack driver
named sullivan, who is missing He was
seen about the hotel in the evening drunk.
